solutions for e-business and the world’s second
largest certificate authority, today announced the
availability of Microsoft Windows Small Business Server
(WSBS) 2003 SSL certificates. Microsoft’s Windows
Small Business Server 2003, announced last month,
provides small business users with an integrated business
server solution that includes messaging and collaboration,
security-enhanced Internet access, protected data
storage, reliable printing, the ability to run line-of-business
applications and faxing. GeoTrust’s Microsoft
Windows SBS 2003 SSL certificates are the first certificates
designed to secure up to four logical servers allowing
administrators to assign a single SSL certificate
to secure an external website and up to three internal
web servers.
“Small businesses are deploying Windows Small
Business Server 2003 to provide a secure, reliable
IT infrastructure in their organizations,” said
Guy Haycock, product manager, Windows Server Group,
Microsoft Corp. “GeoTrust’s Microsoft

Windows SBS 2003 SSL certificates provide true 128-bit
SSL encryption, fully automated provisioning in less
than 10 minutes, Quick SSL Premium smart seal, as
well as the unique ability to secure multiple logical
servers with one certificate. Customers can specify
the additional internal domain names when generating
the request for a certificate and can then use the
single certificate without having to navigate warning
or dialog boxes.

Small Business Server 2003 customers with a unique
secure certificate solution that streamlines the administration
process tremendously,” said John Adams, CTO
